Mr. Dolland. optician to his Alajesty, and Fellow of the Royal Society, informs srie that he considers amber a very improper .material for Specta cles, on account of its colour, its not being homogeneous, ita bility to scratches, and its being also impossible to form it into it per SeJt Leto."

The Fisheries of Ireland. like other vast natural resources of that fruitful country, have hitherto remained wholly neglected. It can scarcely be credited, were it not proved before a Com mittee of the ILiuse of Commons, that the southern and western coasts are the best fishing grounds in Europe, and abound with rod (equal to that of the Dogger Bank), turbot, haddock, ling, hake, salmon, brill, herrings, pilchards, lobsters, &c., and sun fish, so valuable for its od. The Company intend not only to purchase fish from the fishermen, but also to embrace fishing of every description, in lakes, risers, bays, and shores, as weil as the deep sea fishery, and are about to in troduce an improved system of fishing (for which patents are pro posed to be obtained), whereby the application of steam power on a new principle will be most advantageously used, as well as to bring the fish with expedition to the market. Vessels will be fitted up with tanks so constructed as to preserve the fish alive, a desideratum hitherto unknown, the excellent flavour of salmon in particular being lost by its transmission packed in ice. The Company will supply the London, Dublin, Liverpool, Bristol, and other markets with live fish in the course of the ensuing June.

By Order of the Court, HENRY AMSINCK, Secretary. Thames Haven Dock and Railway Office, 23, Moorgate-street, London, May 2d, 1838, T HE BRITISH GALVANIZATION OF METAL COMPANY. Capital, 200,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 20/. Deposit, 2/. per Share. The objeet of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and process of which are secured by patent. In England where these metals are so extensively used, and their preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable of being preserved by this invention will at once show the extensive field opened for its operation. Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines which are necessarily exposed to the weather. The filed and bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chan cables, ship's bolts, knees, and all other iron works used in ship-building ; likewise copper-sheathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet situations, as mines, docks, wharfs, &c. &c. Nails, screws, and all iron-work used in out-buildings. All copper and brass vessels used for culinary purposes. Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment, in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public, as an undertakini , , which cannot fail to yield large profits. A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately issued. Applications for shares may bu addressed, until the 4th of May, to the Provisional Committee, care of William Paterson, Esq., Soli citor, 0, 0 1 ,, , ,1 Broad-street ; Thomas T. Mawe, Esq., Solicitor, 4, New Bridge-stlect ; or at the Offices, 83, Cornhill, where Spe cimens of the invention may be seen. T HE BRITISH GALVANIZATION OF • METAL COMPANY. Whiha the advertisement which has appeared in several daily papers cautioning the public against this Company appeared in an anonymous form, iii 6 Provisional Committee deemed it unworthy of their notice, but the time ha: at length arrived when some explana tion is deo to their Shareholders and the public at large. Some time bite's:, and until a very recent period, the promoters of this Company were in treaty with the French proprietors of Sorel's patent, In order to introduce it Into the United Kingdom ; but upon taking the opinion of an eminent English engineer, there appeared no probability of its being worked with such success in its present form, as to justify them in paying the enormous sum demanded for its purchase. In this stage of their proceedings, another process with machinery was brought under their consideration, which, ac cording to the report of the same engineer, after a careful examina tion of the specifications and experiments made upon both inven tions, was more easily worked, and attended with much less expense than the French process, and• tp such a degree as to constitute a dis tinct patent. This patent, which will soon be completed, is secured to the Com pany on the most advantageous 'terms, which must necessarily greatly enhanco the value of its shares ; while its management will he entrusted to a Board of Directors, whose names will be published w i thout loss of time, which will of itself be a guarantee for the safety and value of the undertaking.

GRAND DINNER OF TYPE AND CO A POOR POET'S DREAM. As I sate in my study, lone and still, Thinking of Sergeant Talfourd's Bill, And the speech by Lawyer Sudden made, In spirit congenial, for " the Trade," Sudden I sunk to sleep, and, In, Upon Fancy's reinless night-mare flitting, I found myself, in a se:ond or so, • At the table of Messrs. Type and Co.

LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, ' I 838. We lay before our readers to-day the chief portion of a pamphlet with the title, " What are the Wants of 1 1 the Middle Classes ?" which was prepared at Leipsic ; but after having been printed was, in consequence of a communication from Berlin, suppressed by the Saxon Government. We must do that Government the justice to say, that it paid for the expense of the printing and paper, which it destroyed. To our readers the translation will be interesting on two or three accounts. They will infer from the calm and unexciting nature of the article, how great must be the uneasiness and the alarm of the Governments which could suppress it. They will infer also from its prin cipal application being to Hanover, while it was suppressed in Saxony in consequence of a communication from Berlin, how close is the alli ance of the timid despots of Germany, and how deter mined they all are to put down every shadow of free dom, and every argument which they fancy to be in the most remote degree dangerous to their usurpations. If political disorders be somewhat infectious, as we believe they are, the admirers of Prince ERNEST in this country can scarcely view with satisfaction that insane conduct in him and in his Ministers which is alarming all Germany, and dividing all its population into the friends and the enemies of the reigning Sovereigns,which is putting a just plea into the mouths of revolutionists, and is banishing into their ranks and from around the throne all moderate, prudent, and independent men. For our parts, we are scarcely sorry to see those who claim the character of Conservatives alarming the world by their tyrannical and unjust pro ceedings, because that seems necessary to make it cast off their stifling embraces by some wide-spread con vulsion. Those who most dread such a convulsion should hate the Conservatives worse than the Re volutionists. To reflecting minds the paper will have, we think, a still higher interest, by demonstrating that the same difficulty of governing which is felt here and in France also pervades and is recognised in Germany. It is indeed at present a general condition of society which only fools will rail at, while wise men, like the author of the Paper, see the necessity of adapting institutions to the altered opinions of men. The author not only enables us to establish the coincidence of political unquietness and tendency to disobedience all over the Continent, he also traces it up to a material cause, which is well known to he equally operative in France and in England—the increase of population. " Every foot of productive land, from the high road to the edge of the forest is cultivated like a garden." Prussia, without adding a foot to her territory, has added since 1814 several millions to her population. With that great physical change, the only one which goes on in society-- the increase of the people--all the social phenomena at which ignorant, unreflecting statesmen are wont con tinually to be alarmed, are connected ; and the stupid Conservatives, in place of adapting institutions to the unavoidable moral changes which arc the result of the increase of population, stimulate the increase of the people, and at the same time arc offended at the con sequences. Their conduct is more silly than that of the child who crams his little gun with powder and stones, fires it off, and then dashes it in anger on the ground, because it recoils and strikes him. The Post, this morning, lets us into the secret for which the Tories voted that Prince ERNEST should keep his revenue. He is to expend it all here in EnOand. He is, of course, to pay his creatures in the press, his creatures in the army, and his creatures in the Church and at Court ; and the .whole sum, wrung from the people, is to .be applied to give strength to that party—here, and in Ireland—hostile to freedom, of which Prince ERNEST is the head. The public money is to foment public disorder, and nourish those who are not the friends of the QUEEN. This application of it is worthy of the reasoning by which the Prince's right is defended. We arc told his re venue is held by precisely the same tenure as the Three per Cents. ; so that the appanage of a Prince, now become a foreign Sovereign, rests on the same foundation as a stipulation to pay interest on money borrowed. The ignorance or the dishonesty which can make such an assertion is quite worthy of the c oarseness with which Mr. HOME is spoken of for not adopting the Post's fallacy. The Princes of the House of Hanover have no right whatever to one atom of revenue from England but what they derive from the Parliament ; and the sums they annually received before the accession of GEORGE 111. as little deserved the name of hereditary property as the revenues of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. We are happy to state that the City of London derry steamer safely arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday. When in the Bay of Biscay she run short of coals, and was in consequence compelled to make for Corunna, where she was delayed by the roughness of the wea tl►er. The Londonderry was full seven days behind her tonal time of making the passage from Vigo. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re ceived. Their contents are unimportant. To cele brate the KING'S birth-day with all due demonstra tions of loyalty, the chambers had suspended their sittings, the Bourse was closed, and hardly any public business was transacted in the French capital. Ad dresses to his Majesty from the Legislative and Diplomatic bodies, from the National Guards, from the Army, and from the Prench Bar, were ready for presentation at an early hour on Tuesday. o n Monday the Chatiabir of filepui - io -.effected . by a Talpfity% of I.BT to v o tes intro d4co N141.41xf of Teoll.ll of the Commissariat. So large a majority against a Ministerial proposition excited great surprise in the political circles. We really do not wonder at it. There is no news of any interest. from Spain. The Swiss journals state, that the Catholic Canton of Glaris has effected the abolition of its monasteries, in defiance of the power of the Archbishop. The follow ing are extracts from the journals : The iccounts from Bayonne of the 27th July confitm the result of the pitiful insurrection attempted by Munagorry • The Catalonian journals say that fears are entertained of the tran quillity of Barcelona. It seems that the ultra. revolutionary party does not renounce the idea of exciting troubles in that city.—Gazette de France, May 1. The Dutch mail this morning has brought us the following adviees ROME, APRIL 9.—Prufeisors Braun and Elvenich, who have been here almost a year on account of the doctrines of Hermes, set out yesterday to return to Germany. Perhai - ,s their negotiations may be published. They were treated with great esteem by every body with whom they had any in tercourse. A general subject of conversation is the purchase, by - the Crown Prince of Prussia, of part of the Palace of Duke Caf farelli, in this capital. The Government as soon as it was made acquainted with the sale annulled it ; it has reserved to itself the right of pre-emption, and it seems that this comb tints was concealed at the sale by the Duke, for which he is under arrest in his own house. The pubic are anxiously expecting the issue of the affair, which is more important at this moment, when the friendly relations with Prussia are in terrupted ; in other times it would have been easily arranged. TRIESTE, APRIL 19. —Accounts from Alexandria of the 29th March, received to-day, announce that Mehemet Ali had set out on Isislong intended journey to Upper Egypt. News had been received at Alexandria from Syria, that Ibrahim Pacha at the head of his army had totally defeated the rebels, and that the insurrection, from which so much was expected, was nearly suppressed.

MAY 2.—A resolution of his Majesty, dated 30th April, appears in the Amsterdam Courant today, by which his Majesty, on the report of the Minister of the Interior, directs that au iron railroad shall be made under the direction of the Minister of the Interior from Amsterdam to Arnheim by way of Utrecht, which may in the sequel have a branch from Rotterdam to Utrecht, and be prolonged from Arnheim to the Prussian frontiers. A loan of nine millions of florins shall be contracted for the expence, to which may be added in the sequel a second and third loan of six and three millions for the above mentioned branch and prolongation. The interest of the loan shall be 4 1 / t per cent , and if the surplus receipt, after defraying the expences of keeping the road in order, &c., should be insufficient, his Majesty will make good the difference. HAOVE, APRIL 30.--A Courier with despatches from London was received to-day by the Minister for Foreign affairs. HAMRURGII, APRIL 28.—N0 change in the prices of funds to.day and little doing. The number of Deputies in the second Chamber of the Estates is still only thirty-one, who daily meet to hear the protocol of the day be fore, in which there is nothing, except that nothing was done, because the Chamber was not complete ; were it not so, they must adjourn be cause there is nothing to do, for we do not hear a word of the iron rail roads and other matters promised by the Hanover Gazette. Mr. Stuart, the student from Edinburgh, who was called to account for a M.S. on the Hanoverian Constitution, has been ordered to leave Got tingen. His Majesty had indeed been pleased to pardon the abuse of his name, and the more so, as it was proved that the MS. had been made known by accident; but academic authorities judged it necessary to make him leave the University, in order to prevent collision with his offended tellow-students, of the Hanoverilin nobility.—Hamburg hoe. sen Halle, 28 April.

The conduct of the functionaries with white sticks belonging to the British and Foreign Bible Society, at Exeter Hall yesterday, is full of suspicion, and will attract the attention of the subscribers who yearly con tribute enormous sums to this institution. We place little confidence in the reports of proceedings at meet ings furnished by persons interested. The system throws- a doubt. over everything connected with them that •is allowed to come before the public, and if no rep.orfers are to attend, but those paid by a certain clique, it would be better to have no report at all. We were desirous to give an early and an impartial account to our numerous readers in . terestedin the state of the finances, and the other pro ceedings that generally come before the annual meeting; but it appears that certain members of- the Society prefer giving their own report. There must be some substantial reason for this. The correctness and im partiality of the reports given in this Journal are ge nerally admitted. It could not, therefore, be on - the ground of partiality that this want of courtesy was so manifestly evinced; but for some other reason of which the numerous Branch Societies will require an explana tion. For some years past, there has been no great desire to provide good accommodation, or furnish documents to the reporters even of morning papers that have long supported the cause ; but on the contrary, a desire to make one periodical the exclusive organ of a. party. We4lo not aver that on this account there is any wish to mystify accounts involving sums from 70,000/. to 100,000/. a year, or that any of these gentlemen with the " long white sticks" have an interest in any particular periodical ; because we cannot believe that men of a religious turn of mind, and engaged in such a holy cause as the diffusion of the Scriptures, could be influ enced by such improper motives ; but we can assure them, if they want to be above suspicion, they must give no grounds for it. Public curiosity is a little excited to ascertain to whom the Twenty-three Thousand Bottles of Wine belong, that is announced by Mr. George Robins for Sale next Mon day. The reply yesterday was, that the house stands No. One, in the City of London, and the Wines not to be surpassed in England. The grand birth-day fete at St. James's Palace, on Thursday, the 24th inst., will be on a scale of vast splendour. The Marquis Cenyngham and Lord Charles Fitzroy are daily engaged at the Lord Chamberlain's Office issuing the invitations.. Count Anatole Demidoff, the wealthy Russian grandee, is expected at the Clarendon Hotel from Paris, on diplomatic business connected with the arrival of the Ambassador Extraordinary from St. Petersburg. Mr. Bligh, the first envoy to the Hanoverian Court, is expected to take his departure for Hanover early in the ensuing month. Mr. Cartwright has succeeded Mr. Bligh as Minister at Stockholm. CUSTOM-HOUSE.--A week ago an air-tight green house from India, with some curious plants, was inspected at the Cos. tom-house by breaking the glass, and, of course, utterly destroying the exotics. A parallel happened to a Noble Lord who brought a choice missal from Italy, which the custom-house officer, in spite Of the assu. rances of his servant, declared to be an oil-painting ; and to prove that it was so, and chargeable with duty, he spit on hit lingers, and smeared it all over, rubbing the value completely out.—Literary Gazette, LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY.--011 Tuesday the Directors of this Railway proceeded along the line from London to Woking-common, a distance of QS miles, preparatory to its being opened to the public on the 14th instant. The object of the journey was to arrange the stations as well as to test the safety of the line, and to give such orders as will ensure the public against accidents on the opening. The excursion was roost satisfactory. The engine employed on the occasion was made by Messrs. C. Taylour and Co., of Warrington, and during some parts of the journey went at the rate of 2 miles per hour It was a singular and gratifying circumstance that the Directors were on this occasion accompanied by John Moss, Esq , the Chairman of the Directors of the Grand Junaion Railway, and by Charles Lawrence, Esq., the Chairman ef the Directors of the Liver. pool and Manchester Railway, and th ese gentlemen both Expressed them. selves highly pleased with th e state of the works, finished state of the Railw a y . and comparatively STATE or TRADE. ---W O are happy to have it in our power to confirm, by tho result of yesterday's market, the favourable report we made last week with respect to the 130th in yarns and in goods th ere was decidedly more business doing ; all apprehension of their be com i ng lower seemed to have passed away, and buyers were comingt confidence.
